There was a grocery store (down)uptown? Was it any good?
It was in the university neighborhood, Jarvis street I think.
Many years ago it was called Overton's (like the sporting goods store) and owned by Parker Overton's father. Parker got his start by selling water ski equipment out of the back room.

The City Market was on Jarvis St. I only went in there a couple of times. It was a dump, looked like it hadn't been updated since the '80's - or maybe even the '70's. I bought a chewy candy bar in there, it was hard as brick. I think it may have been from the original shipment from when the candy bar was newly invented ten years before. Haha!
